Do I have to have a fruit cake for my wedding?

What to do if you don’t like fruit cake

Are you feeling a little less than excited about the idea of serving a traditional fruit cake at your wedding? You're not alone! While fruit cake has been a long-standing tradition, it's not for everyone. The good news is, you have plenty of other options to choose from that will still satisfy your guests' sweet tooth. At Bloom and Crumb - London Wedding Cakes, we believe in offering a range of delicious and unique cake flavors to cater to every taste. Here are some alternatives to consider if you're not a fan of fruit cake:

1. Classic Vanilla

Sometimes, keeping it simple is the best way to go. You can never go wrong with a classic vanilla cake. Its timeless flavour appeals to everyone, and it pairs well with a variety of fillings and frostings. Whether you opt for a traditional buttercream or get creative with flavoured creams or mousses, a vanilla cake will provide a subtle and elegant sweetness that is sure to please.

2. Decadent Chocolate

For all the chocolate lovers out there, a decadent chocolate cake is a must. Rich, moist, and indulgent, this cake flavour is guaranteed to be a hit with your guests. From creamy chocolate ganache to velvety chocolate buttercream, there are endless options to enhance the chocolatey goodness of this beloved confection. Have a look at my chocolate flavours here

3. Zesty Citrus

If you prefer a lighter and refreshing flavor, consider a citrus-inspired cake. A lemon or orange-infused sponge, paired with tangy fillings and frostings, can provide a delightful burst of flavor. From lemon curd to orange cream cheese frosting, you can get creative with the citrusy accents and add a touch of sunshine to your wedding day.

4. A Taste of the Tropics

Why not transport your guests to a tropical paradise with a cake inspired by exotic flavors? Coconut, mango, passionfruit, or pineapple can add a unique twist to your wedding cake. Embrace the vibrant colors and bold flavors of the tropics, and your cake will become a conversation starter for years to come.

5. Gourmet Flavors

Stepping away from the traditional can allow you to explore gourmet flavours that are as exquisite as they are surprising. From lavender-infused cakes to decadent salted caramel creations, there's no limit to the flavour combinations you can explore. Push the boundaries, consult me, a cake designer, and let me help you create a truly unforgettable taste experience.
Remember, your wedding cake should reflect your personal taste and style. If fruit cake isn't your cup of tea, don't worry! There are plenty of alternatives that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. At Bloom and Crumb, we are passionate about crafting bespoke wedding cakes that delight the senses.
